Job description

Overview

Are you a passionate and talented Kitchen Team Member considering a potential new opportunity in Cambridge? Our Permit Rooms are always on the lookout for exceptional individuals who share our love of Bombay food, culture, and hospitality. At Dishoom, we pride ourselves on creating bustling, welcoming spaces and fostering a team culture where people can truly flourish. If you’re a dedicated kitchen team member from Head chef to Kitchen assistant, with a relentless drive for quality and a commitment to crafting exceptional dishes while supporting a positive team environment, we’d love to hear from you for future opportunities.

We are proud to be recognised as one of the best places to work in Hospitality. Looking after people is at the core of what we do and we work hard to make life at Dishoom the best it can be. Since 2010, our restaurants have celebrated the Irani cafes and all of the food and drink of Bombay. Our Permit Rooms can be found in Brighton, Cambridge, Oxford and Portobello.

As well as running busy sites with big teams, we also understand the importance of doing more. From planting trees with our teams in the UK & India, tying Rakhis with our guests, to our dedication to helping to feed children through Meal for a Meal. As of this year, we have donated 25 million meals (and counting) to children in the UK and India. As a length of service contribution, you may contribute meals per shift to this cause.

• Competitive hourly and salary pay inclusive of tronc. We pay on a monthly basis. As you grow and develop with Dishoom, you\'ll receive annual pay increases over three years.

• Access to our award-winning training programmes and support. We focus on your development from day one and proudly promoted 211 Dishoomwalles last year.
• The usual number of days holiday a year - paid for, including tronc. Our sites are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day, and if you have children, we’ll provide one extra day to take them to their first day at school.
• We\'ll provide the Chef whites!
